Apparatus and method for setting up a content schedule

摘要

Many kinds of contents to be provided in a time schedule frame matching the time demanded are sequentially provided to a client PC (4) based on a providing schedule set up to provide plural kinds of contents in each time schedule frame one by one, which keeps a client interested. A plurality of user PCs (2) share the exclusive storage area in a content server (39) within a content provider (3), and thus contents can be supplied to many and unspecified persons who have accessed. When the number of contents to be provided simultaneously at a desired time on the providing schedule has reached the upper value, reservations are controlled, thereby preventing the lowering of content transferring speed and ensuring a speedy provision.
